Cat Sitting in Mechanicsville

“John was fantastic! He kept us updated on what was going on at home and sent us pictures of the pets each day. He made sure the cats and Guiana pig didn’t miss a step in their routine while we were out of town. Fantastic experience! We will use him again.”

About: I am an avid animal lover and have been my whole life. Used to foster for a rescue and have tons of love and experience to share! Scared or timid dogs are my favorite as I am super patient and love what the relationship turns into when your pet trusts me. In my care your babies are my babies and I will treat them with love and respect. I want that to be the last worry on your mind and know that your loved one is in great hands! I work full time and can be available 6pm and after monday-friday. I can make myself available on weekends saturday and sunday for all services. I have a fenced in yard for them to run and play with many potty breaks. I have friendly dogs of my own to let them have a playdate. I do have the means to crate train your animal if needed. My mother lives with me and is able to let the dogs out while im at work.

About: I have taken care of animals for over a year now at a dog daycare/boarding centre in a variety of different circumstances. From Mastiff’s to Chihuahuas, I am confident taking care of various different sized dogs with a variety of different dietary needs from raw diets to kibble diets, medical needs from dogs that get medication once a day to dogs that get medication several times a day, and activity needs from dogs that need regular exercise to senior dogs that don’t need to be exercised. I have also had experience handling dogs that are extremely nervous around new people, dogs that can resource guard toys, and dogs that are highly reactive. I am a full-time commuter college student with large gaps between my morning and afternoon classes which I can travel to and from the owners house to let their dogs out and play with during. The only time that I am unable to stop by the house between classes is on Thursdays where I will be gone from 8 am to 2 pm due to my in-person lab course. I only offer services at my clients house so as of not to subject the pet to unnecessary stress from being in a new environment. I can administer any medication that is not via injection, I can cater to a variety of diets ranging from raw meat every day to freshly cooked food three times a day to kibble twice a day depending on the dogs needs, I have personal leashes that I can use or I can use the owners leashes to take the dog on walks as often as request/needed.

“Aleyah promptly responded to my last minute request. She’s communicative, and made sure that my cat is taken care of (Food, water and litter box). My cat loved her, I HEARD HER PURRRing on the phone!💙💚 Thank you Aleyah 😻”

“Sam is the best! They actually spend time at the house when they do drop ins and play with our pets. We have used them twice and the first time was very last minute and they were able to accommodate us. We trust them 100%. We highly recommend Sam!”

“Virginia did a very good job, especially with my kitty that needed topical medication. I will ask for her again if the need arises!”

“Vanessa was great. Dealing with my cat herd isn't easy because they are masters of hide and seek. She was able to find and photo a few and even got a few pets in with one of them. She provided updates and pics daily. Anything out of the ordinary or new cat destruction she provided notice! Nice to go away and not be stressed over their care!”

About: Every pet is different, and I take the time to truly understand their unique personality, preferences, and needs. My love for animals isn’t just a job — it’s a real passion, and I treat every pet like family. One thing that sets me apart is that I’m home all day and have wide availability. That means your pet gets more attention, more playtime, and more one-on-one care — especially helpful for pets who need extra love, routine, or supervision. I keep pet parents in the loop with regular updates, photos, and detailed notes, so you always know how your furry friend is doing. I go beyond the basics with enriching activities and interactive play that help keep pets mentally and physically happy. You can count on me to be punctual, consistent, and reliable — creating a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. Whether it’s a special request or an unexpected situation, I’m always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everyone is safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pet — feel free to reach out any time! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I’m home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule. I build my days around the pets I care for — making sure they get walks, playtime, meals, and companionship on a consistent schedule. I’m not rushing in between other jobs or obligations, which means I can give pets my full attention, especially those who need a stable routine or extra care. Whether it’s early morning drop-ins, midday playtime, or evening feeding, I’m available and fully present. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals, so making it part of my everyday life doesn’t feel like work — it’s just what I do.

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do everything I can to keep their environment calm, familiar, and consistent. I always begin with a meet and greet to learn your pet’s habits, health needs, and any household preferences. I follow feeding, walking, and play routines closely and provide plenty of mental and physical stimulation through personalized activities. Cleanliness and safety are top priorities — I keep your home tidy, clean up after pets, wipe paws when needed, and ensure food and water areas are fresh. I respect your space, follow house rules, and take home security seriously by locking up and following any protocols you’ve shared. I also provide frequent updates, photos, and notes, so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: We are a dog loving household with a 8 year old super friendly jack russel of our own who loves playing with other dogs big or small. We both grew up around dogs big and small and love animals. We love going out back to playing catch and going on family walks to the park with the dog. When you board your dog with us rest assure they will be treated as part of the family. I am currently a SAHM so the dogs get lots of attention and playtime we have a fenced dog area in our backyard, allowing the dogs free range to run and play with eachother. we have also have a side of the house specifically blocked off just for the dogs in the case that they want to rest without being bothered. I am sahm during the week and my husband ia home on the weekend while I work so there is always someone here to give thw dogs attention. I have a fenced dog part and a friendly jack russel as well as 2 kida who love to play and tired the dogs out.

“Took great care of the cats, including one very high maintenance 18+ kitty who frequently has litter box issues and has daily meds. Jessie C. kept the box (and the cat’s accidents) cleaned up and cats well looked after.”

About: I have lived with all kinds of animals such as cats, dogs, fish, and even a sheep since childhood and have plenty of experience caring for my own pets as well as pet sitting for friends and family over the past 5+ years. I have dealt with pill and ear drop administration, managing multiple dogs with different diets, and of course dog walking and cat litter box changing. From now until January 11th I am out of school and do not have any work making my schedule very free. Starting Jan 12th I will be taking college courses Mondays and Wednesdays almost all day so I will be unavailable then but I will be free on weekends and evenings during Tuesdays Thursdays and Fridays. I promise to be attentive and caring towards your pet(s) whether that means playing, petting, or simply talking to them to make sure they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. I will follow any and all instructions given to the best of my ability and be sure to give updates and ask questions if there is any uncertainty.

“I could not have dreamed up a better pet sitter than Elizabeth. So responsive, flexible and funny.”

About: I have always grown up around animials, since I was a little girl we always had dogs and cats. We even bad a few birds at one time. i have been around all types of dogs. Big, medium, small, old, young, lovable, mean. You name it I've been around it. I am a very active individual, I live near the water so would love to take strolls by the beach and even go running. Id love to play fetch with your dog but i would also love to just cuddle up and watch some T.V. At my house currently I have no pets. I work part time and go to school some evenings, So once I am done school I cannot wait to adopt a loving animal(s).I have volunteered at many shelters in my spare time walking and loving on the animals that need some extra love. As of now I am in nursing school and just looking for some extra fun to do in my spare time. I love all types of dogs and all types of sizes. No dog is too big or too small for me! So please let me meet your little 4 legged animal :)
